BC Hydro Power Smart New Homes Program

The most cost-effective way to save energy in the home is to design with energy efficiency in mind. Our New Home Program encourages builders and developers to build an energy-efficient home – a Power Smart home. Working with builders and developers, BC Hydro Power Smart wants to create homes that cost less to operate and are more comfortable places to live.

Builders who build to Power Smart New Home standards receive:
  • Financial incentives* for the home’s EnerGuide rating and the installation of ENERGY STAR appliances
  • Promotional opportunities and funding
  • Power Smart branding for the home
